# Secrets Manager

Kira gives you quick access to **AWS Secrets Manager** in the active account.

* **List** the secrets available to your account/role.
* **Fetch** a secret's value when you need it, and copy it to the clipboard.
* **Pin** frequently used secrets per account via the `secrets` list in your [configuration](/getting-started/configuration.md#accounts) (each entry has a friendly `label` and the secret `id`), so they're one click away.

Secrets are also used elsewhere in Kira — for example to resolve [database](/user-guide/databases.md) credentials, and inside [extensions](/extension-development/sdk-reference.md#secrets) via `k.Secret(...)`.

Open a specific secret directly with a deep link: `kira://secrets/view?account=<id>&role=<role>&region=<region>&secretId=<name-or-arn>` (see [Navigating Kira](/user-guide/navigation.md#deep-links-kira)).

{% hint style="info" %}
Secret values are fetched on demand for the account you're acting as and stay on your machine — Kira doesn't route them through any hosted service.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.kira.thiennguyen.dev/user-guide/secrets.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
